In One Month, Ed Schultz Goes From Dove To Superhawk: Don't Rule Out Boots on Ground!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/10/2014 4:22:13 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What happened, Ed? Just one month ago, citing a variety of concerns, Schultz declared [video] that there should be "no military intervention at all" in Iraq.

Suddenly, it seems, Schultz has gone superhawk. On his MSNBC show this evening, just hours before President Obama lays out his anti-ISIS plan, Schultz said that we should not rule out boots on the ground, and should not outsource the fighting to other countries.

View the video here.

They’re all scurrying for cover now that the true nature of the Islamist beast is revealed by ISIS.

Does he still pretend al Qaeda doesn’t exist and was never a threat?

Well, Ed, what are you waiting for ? Give him a gun and a parachute and drop him on Iraq.

The master speaks and Ed dutifully turns 180 degrees. “We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia. East Asia has always been our ally . . . .”

One minute the American Communists didn’t want the US in WWII, and right after Germany attacked the Soviet Union, they wanted the US in.

I wonder why [NOT!].

They are all becoming hawks. The talking points are clear.......the dove Bush is responsible for ending the war in Iraq and bringing home the troops, Obama was just following the plan. I heard this several times today and could not believe my ears. The Nobel Peace winner was really GWB.

Barry leading from behind and Mr. Ed has to follow.

If he doesn’t he would have to dislodge his nose from Barry’s posterior.

It must have really confused him when Stalin signed the non-aggression pact with Hitler...

If the imbecilic moron Ed Schultz is for it I guess I’ll have to reconsider my position.

The guy is mental hospital grade stupid.

Schultz got some insider info that says this is the new White House Plan.

Of course, it's all going to be just for show.

"It's a pageant".

Well, once upon a time, Ed Schultz had a fairly large audience compared to what he has today-- he read high school football and hockey scores on the 10 o'clock news in the Fargo, North Dakota market.

He may be trying to get back to those glory days of early in his career.

There reasoning is ridiculous...For starters I am for helping in Iraq with whatever it takes, boots on the ground etc

I hear even Fox people say stuff like...well this is different because of the brutality of ISIS...yes they are brutal

But I recall US soldiers found with private parts cut off and stuffed in mouth, that is pretty brutal I would say!

So I find it very strange the way this is being discussed, now its terrible enough to help, but before it was not??

The terrorists in Iraq before were pretty brutal

Saddam was doing terrible things, children in jail, gassing his people etc also

I am agreeing with your point, just adding my own thoughts
